What is Rdapdylvb ransomware?

Rdapdylvb is a new ransomware program in the Snatch family. It encrypts the data on infected computers, and then proceeds to demand ransom for its decryption. After encrypting the files, the virus gives them .rdapdylvb file extension. This is the origin of the virus’s name.
Rdapdylvb ransom note can be read on the image above; it is a simple text file named “HOW TO RESTORE YOUR FILES.TXT”. The note makes it abundantly clear that the hackers behind Rdapdylvb intended to target companies, and only companies. The hackers do not mention how much money they want for the files; when targeting high-profile targets, the criminals find it more beneficial to negotiate.
Of course, nothing stops Rdapdylvb from infecting ordinary people’s computers as well, by accident. And hackers who target companies will likely not bother negotiating with individuals, or demand unreasonably high amounts of money.
One solution to this problem is to avoid contacting the hackers at all. There are several ways to remove Rdapdylvb and decrypt .rdapdylvb files without their involvement. Read the guide below to learn about options available to you.
